So much beauty in the morning to revel in! Thank you, Carol, and compliments, huge ones, each watercolor seems to be the best, even though for only a day or so, til you show us a new one. I've seen these rose bud teasanes in Vienna stores, now I am tempted to buy a bagful. Soon. Maybe it helps me get over my Venetian blues.

The flower to the left is marvelously painted, and the suggestion of the rose petals in the jar is very winsome. (Those little spots of darker mauve over the light pink rose buds, and the rosebud on top of the jar are just delightful.) A big fave of your watercolors...LItaly

Fauchon is wonderful. Too bad the New York store closed down, although I never was there anywhere. Too big flagship stores closed down here in Chicago recently and it was sad to see them go.I'd love to have that jar of rosebuds even if I never drink the tea.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
